Review ~ The Friendship Tree by Helen J Rolfe

Crooked Cat Publishing
201

Tamara Harding leaves the UK for
Australia in order to to put some space, and miles, between herself and her ex,
Bradley Cox. She is soon drawn into the close knit community of Brewer Creek where
she becomes the coordinator of The Friendship Tree, a community project which
helps people in times of need.

When Tamara’s life start to intertwine with that
of the charismatic vet, Jake Manning, her life starts to get more and more
complicated, add into the mix, an ex who won’t give up and you have all the ingredients
of a complicated love triangle.

Nicely written, with a fine eye
for detail, The Friendship Tree draws you in from the beginning and becomes a fascinating
look at relationships and the problems that can be encountered by keeping secrets
from those we love.

This is a good début novel from
an author who I am sure will continue to go from strength to strength.
